Re: Brake issues

I removed my rear drums sorted things out then reassembled them. I had a similar responce on the rear brakes too. After some investigation I realised my self adjust systems were on the wrong sides, they were loosening not tightening. https://i.imgur.com/8p2Xtp0.jpeg Check you haven't done the same. ...

( do have a slight spread of fluid at back of cylinder) :shock: Question here is A. Buy new cylinder ( Brickwerks out of original) B. Replace all the seals, including reservoir gro...

Re: Fitting a c rail

Just a thought but could it be possible to have it both ways ? If you attach to the pop top cutting at the gap then put a similar size on tin top you could attach the awning be the roof up or down. You would have to align the tin top bit with the fixed roof bit and will just have a gap where they se...

Re: Replacing Camper Floor

Either way works but if not going under units don't forget the cupboard doors, will they catch if just carpeting/vinyling the floor?
I put a tough grip vynil down with a couple of door mats 1 at entrance 1 by cooker( most worn places).
Good luck.

Re: 1.9dg - turns over but won’t start

Do you push the pedal to the metal and release before you turn ignition?
This is to open the choke and has been mentioned by many on this forum.
If still not starting check the leads, distributer isn't loose and moved, check inside dizzy and clean connections,coil etc.
Good luck
